Hampton Roads

Throughout both All the Pretty Horses and The Road, McCarthy uses his own life experiences to develop ideas within his books. For instance, in The Road McCarthy addresses religion frequently as the man and other characters they meet often question the existence of a god due to the horrible situation that god has put him in.

Four days and 1,304 miles can be the experience of a lifetime. Driving through California, up to the forest was breathtaking. I saw trees mix together until massive trees towered over us. Although the trees are tall and straight, they have knots and grooves in the bark. Some of the trees have rough char marks from past fires.

One day my friends and I decided to go on a road trip. We were passing a little town and we decided to stop because there was this beautiful cornfield. There was a little corner store a few blocks down so we started to head there first. We noticed that there was nobody there so we got everything we can and went back to the van and headed back to the cornfield. The sun was setting and the sky was such a view. We got down and found a spot to take pictures and that’s when we noticed a somewhat vehicle

I hailed a cab around 10:30pm in the Murray Hill area. I was headed towards times square for a drink and maybe some trade if I was in the mood. Traffic getting over there was dreadful, even for New York. I finally got to the front of the Tonic Bar & Restaurant and walked inside. It was a familiar scene, the new faces of tourists all around, perfect for me to make some quick and easy cash. A guy approached me. He’s maybe 6’1”, dark hair, brown eyes, nice body, didn’t smile much but I’m used to that

Tyler was walking along calm, cool, and collective in the desert and saw ten guys huddling around a campfire not too far from a train. The guys looked and saw Tyler coming as he was minding his own business. They saw him wearing: sandals, blue and white jersey shorts, and a white tang top, with two grey dog tags around my white neck and having my name printed in them saying “Tyler Fluit.” They also saw how ripped I was on body structure too, with my dirty blonde hair and gleaming bluish green eyes

Terrible Transportation in Las Vegas The RTC, Regional Transportation Commission, is the only bus system all around the Las Vegas area and it covers most of the valley.

For my research proposal I have decide to choose a book titled: The Road, by Cormack McCarthy, published in 2006. This novel is about a middle aged man and his young son who are trapped on a newly apocalyptic world that has been ravaged by intense fires, earthquakes and winds that leave everything around them covered in ash.
